    Pondering bailing out. Long post

    What about a 350Z or G35? About as fast as an MS3 stock, but with RWD and a decent amount of upgrade options. If it's speed your looking for, I would choose an '00-02 TransAm with RamAir or even a Pontiac GTO over the ugly magnum. Anything with AWD and a turbo is going to have an easy upgrade...

    Why is the clutch so stiff?

    Try driving a VR-4 with a vacuum-assist clutch delete, and then tell me what's difficult to drive. Every time you push the clutch in it's like trying to push a stack of bricks with your feet. The speed3 is easy to drive in comparison.

    Redline shift boot, ebrake cover, and armrest installed...

    Looks nice. I'm a big fan of "factory +" mods like this which are subtle and enhance the overall look of the car. I can't stand some of the over-top-mods people have done to speed3's, a lot of them look ricey but this indeed looks classy.

    09 Ms3 Vs 09 Wrx

    I'm fairly certain that an 09 WRX would destroy a MS3 from a dead stop. However at a starting roll anywhere from 20-40, I think the edge would be given to the MS3. I know this is just speculation, but given the facts AWD is going to give much better launch an 0-60 & 1/4 times, while at the...

    Speed Sport Stereo Pretty Good.

    Yeah, I have a sport, and the stock stereo isn't bad by any means, but at the same time it also isn't good. It's adequate, gets somewhat loud, but not decently loud. Sound is somewhat muffled, but that's to be expected on any car's stock stereo. It certainly does not come even close to my...

    09 Ms3 Vs 09 Wrx

    I do take those stories with a grain of salt, but granted a lot of people have been reporting engine problems with subbies lately. The 08 WRX actually had a recall, and even people with 08 STis have had engine problems too. A simple google of 09 WRX engine failure does bring up several...

    09 Ms3 Vs 09 Wrx

    I was initially split between an 08 MS3 and an 09 WRX as well. After test driving them both, I eventually decided with the MS3. The WRX is quicker from a dead stop because of AWD, and there isn't any power limiting in the 1st 2 gears like the MS3. Yet, it costs ~$4000 more generally speaking...
